FloatingIsFun by hitstun ( fedia.io )

Pardon this rare text post, but I'd like to talk about the community for a moment. On August 3, 2021, I created this subreddit hoping to find others who get distracted by floaty things like I do. I knew this would be really niche, but after a year, there are 256 airheads here! I feel like my original set of seven rules did the job well and I recently made them official, reportable rules. Our original ten post flairs have also passed their flight tests and I don't need to change them. By the way, post flairs aren't strictly required, and if I see a post without one, I'll just flair it myself. I did add 100 user flair emojis that mean nothing, use whatever you like. I recently added an RES-compatible night mode for Old Reddit based on the night mode I made for /r/wordle, but I made some additional tweaks for Old Reddit and New Reddit.

Your votes have helped me gain more understanding of what's universally cool about floating, and what I might just be weird about. Some posts get boosted unfairly when I crosspost them to other subreddits, but I get the idea.

Here are the top ten posts of the first year of /r/FloatingisFun:

So basically, y'all like cute things. You prefer fantasy floating over real things floating, characters over inanimate objects. Oh, and you really don't like video submissions, but short gifs are OK. It matters less that it's floating in an interesting way and matters more that the post is generally really cool and detailed even without its floating context.

Thank you for all your support. This subreddit is still young, and I need more input from the peanut gallery. Please post floaty things you think are cool. Basically everything that floats in the air is permitted as long as you follow the rules: credit the creator, link to the source, and avoid reposts, littering, distress, and NSFW content. Bring your best and we'll continue to soar to new heights!
